But there was also anger over Lipes' actions among physicians from the Navy Medical Corps and talk of a court-martial by the U.S. surgeon general, who was forced to set protocols for appendectomies on submarines. Excuse me? What was he supposed to do? Let the appendix burst and allow the sailor to die a miserable, painful death from infection?
I have a feeling this lowly Pharmacists Mate made a lot of Navy Docs look bad.
RIP and Good Bless, Seaman Lipes.

By 'Navy Doc', do you mean Navy Doctor?
Pharmacist Mate was the orignal MOS of the Navy Corpsman, also know informally as 'Doc', but is not a Doctor.
